"We launched the Pixel Press Kickstarter on Tuesday, and after two days, the response has been pretty incredible - over 700 backers," Rath says. "And we've seen so many positive comments from fans saying how excited they are to help us make this happen."

So what the hell is this thing and how does it work? Let's just say that all those days you spent mapping out Super Mario Bros levels as a youngster won't go to waste.

After drawing five levels of hell, users photograph their masterpiece and upload their game draft through the Pixel Press app for iPhone or iPad (Android apps will be considered after the IOS launch). The app does some voodoo tech magic, and after a few tests and design tweaks, you've got a playable game worthy of a brave hero.
